Icon11 Bronzo Matt Brush Finish

I felt a little sad about my Bronzo today...

After a humid summer, it seemed like time for a quick clean and polish to reset the patina somewhat.

So, from this:


after 20mins to this.....


but it made me realise how I missed the factory matt brush


It really was a beautifully subtle look, just like a brushed 305, but a little, well, err, bronze.

Yes, a wonderful ever changing material, but a pity it can never look like the day it was new - ever again!!

Makes for an interesting piece, with the ever-changing patina
